Imagine you are sitting in your room and suddenly you hear a strange sound coming from your device. IPhone Yours. The experience will certainly be like a scary nightmare, especially if it happens to you more than once. Well, it seems that this problem has begun to spread among a number of iPhone users. Let's learn in the following lines about the phenomenon of mysterious sounds on the iPhone. We will also discuss the reasons behind these scary sounds.
Mysterious sounds phenomenon on iPhone
Story 1: It all started a few days ago when a Reddit user posted that he heard a sound coming from his iPhone. It sounded like someone was driving and talking on a phone with someone else. Of course, it was scary, especially after he checked that there were no apps running in the background.
But the conversation he was hearing took a turn for the darker when the Reddit user heard that the person talking while driving had crashed their car. Then, within seconds, there was silence and he never heard that voice again. But it didn’t stop there. Two days later, the same user heard someone else yelling profanities during a phone call.
Story 2: Another user shared his experience yesterday. This time the sounds were normal, no profanity or incidents. Just the sounds of someone talking to his coworkers. Of course, the user checked for any background apps or anything else that could be causing this, but found nothing.
Glitch or strange phenomenon?
Why do some iPhone users allow inexplicable sounds even though there is no call or apps running in the background? Let's explore the logical reasons behind this mysterious phenomenon.
First possibility: There may be a privacy issue that leads to other users' voices being heard. If things get out of hand, Apple will announce it and release an immediate update to address this loophole that concerns its users' privacy. But so far, there are only a limited number of users who have reported these voices.
Second possibility: iOS 18 bug, iPhone users have been experiencing a lot of issues installing OS updates in the past. So this might be the most likely scenario. A system issue could be causing a random sound or YouTube video to play in the background, or perhaps a malicious app has exploited a loophole in the system and started playing ads or videos without your knowledge.
Other possibilities:
- Sometimes, some ads start on Safari and the sound may continue even after you leave the browser.
- Your iPhone may be connected to something without you knowing via Bluetooth.
- It's possible that Siri heard something from the TV that sounded like the words you activate like "Siri" or "Hey Siri." So she turned on something that caused those mysterious sounds.
